This sucks, I've always been a Bee Gees fan. Yes, including their disco songs.

Yep.  I wonder if that could be made into a non-profit.  <ponder>

They had non-disco songs?   :oh_i_see:

How can you not appreciate disco, even in a cheesy, YMCA sort of way.  I'm not going to drive around listening to it in the car, but you can see the influence of the Bee Gees everywhere.  You've got to give that some respect.

It was a great time, filled with enthusiasm and optimism. The government actually functioned to promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty. The social environment was very active, every town and little berg had a club scene of some sort. And yes, through today's eyes it just looks funny.

In 35 years, all those photos of people peering into their tiny smartphone screens is going to seem hilarious too.
